New Freelancer Mod

A New very cool mod is out in beta version 0.16e, you can download it here http://www.progamer.nu/filer/freelancer ... _0.16e.rar

I have tried it and its VERY nice, hopefully they will add the server file soon.

here is a snip of what changes is done to FL

- 15.000 in start money
- 6 New Systems with lots of suprises
- Several new ships including Anubis Mk2, Armored Transport, Dromedary Mk2
- Buyable and flyable Cruisers, Battleships, Cargo Trains
- New equipment, like different thrusters
- A "War" is taking place between 2 systems with invading forces, Cruisers, Battleships. All of them can be shot down.
- Lots of new "surprises"

****ATTENTION!****
This the he CLient side Mod, you also need the Server side Mod to play on your own server or if you are setting up one!!!

Does this work in SP or is it only for MP?

Post Tue Mar 18, 2003 10:54 pm

How about we get an update to the mod that allows for easy intergration into the sp game?

It crashes when you go to certain systems

good job on everything else btw

(I can not wait for the next wave of mods that will be coming out .. having different speeds for all kinds of different ships and real large fullscale battles to take place in .. Thats what im talking about! ;p)

How do i install this. Basically where do i put the .rar file?

Post Wed Mar 19, 2003 12:22 pm

on client side you have to unrar( ?? ---> check WinRAR ) or unzip the file directly into your game directory, e.g. e:\games\Freelancer or whatever, it won't overwrite any original file unless you havent installed any other mod yet. then goto the exe folder and start the game using the exomod.exe..btw, there's a readme inside the archive..

anyway on server side you can unzip the achive, go into the exomod folder, grab all files there and copy them directly into your Freelaner\data directory. !WARNING! This WILL overwrite original files so better back them up. I've got a server running and until now it works fine, I noticed that the train and RheinlandCruiser keep the game crashing when entering the shipdealer and I didn't do intensive testing yet, but i will try out... but the Armored transport works fine

how have u got it working on ur server,i thought we had to wait for the server files to be posted,if i try it crashes when i launch from the planet.

I was wondering the glaxacy when I came accross a ship I WANT WANT WANT! the "Asteroid miner" it is big chunky and would be sweet to use. If you can add that into the mod I'll be really happy

well, as i just told, i unzipped the archive, went into the exomod folder and copied all files/folders from there to my freelancer\Data dir, overwriting existing files, then started flserver exe, on the other machine i used the exomod.exe in the exe-folder to start freelancer...
anyway, just for notice, I'm just a user, not the creator of this mod...

Post Wed Mar 19, 2003 4:56 pm

yeah but have u seen the new systems yet m8.

Post Wed Mar 19, 2003 5:15 pm

YO i would like to use your mod but i can't seem to get it to work

could you tell me how to get it to work

Thanks

Post Wed Mar 19, 2003 5:27 pm

Damn!! Now we got three identical threads announcing the very same mod, that doesn't even work. Come on Raven, what's the point of this?

Anyway, got another question: when (if) the SP version arrives, will I be able to just 'jump' in there, or do I need to start a new game???

Yeah, I tried that mod on Kenny's Server this morning and it crashed to desktop when launching from Manhatten.
